National Environmental Standards - permitted activities

National Environmental Standards (NES) are nationally consistent regulations made under the Resource Management Act 1991. They set out planning requirements and technical standards on a variety of specified activities that affect the environment.

​The NES may require you to submit information to us, or get a resource consent before you start an activity. They may also contain requirements for ongoing monitoring and reporting to us.

There are currently seven operative National Environmental Standards:

National Environmental Standards for Freshwater - permitted activities

Certain activities near or in rivers, wetlands, lakes and streams may be permitted under the National Environmental Standards for Freshwater, but they must comply with the relevant conditions.

Information requirements for National Environmental Standards permitted activities

The information we require on NES permitted activities and the time frame for when you can start your proposal, depends on the type of activity you are undertaking.
